Car ignites causing traffic delays

A car fire wreaked havoc on holiday traffic near Barwon Heads bridge on Sunday.

The vehicle ignited about 6pm and forced the closure of the bridge, leaving traffic at a standstill on the road commonly known as the ‘S-bends’.

The vehicle, a 4WD, was extinguished shortly after fire crews arrived.

Ben Roe is camping at the popular holiday spot and said a fellow holidaymaker rushed in to help direct traffic.

Traffic was held for more than half an hour.

“Kim Lambertz, a camper, jumped in and directed traffic like a champ,” he said.

“Wonderful work by our beleaguered fire crews, too.”
